About me

Graduate in French and Spanish from Cambridge University

I am a recent graduate in French and Spanish. My experience in languages ranges from working and tutoring abroad to learning new languages from scratch myself alongside my degree. This has taught me exactly what it takes to learn most effectively, working to achieve grammatical accuracy, confidence in speaking, reading and writing and, of course outstanding results.

About my sessions

My Tutorials

My tutorials are aways based on the needs of the student, whether this involves learning a new language from scratch, or consoldating specific aspects of a course which prove particuarly challenging. Before we start, I will assess previous work by the student in order to identify key areas which should be targeted in tutorials.

What's the difference between the verbs SER and ESTAR in Spanish?

Understanding thhe difference between ser and estar can be tricky as in English we do not make the distinctions between the two types of "to be", however, there are some simple ways to help you remember the difference: In general, SER is used to describe something permanent whereas ESTAR describes a temporary condition. For example, consider the difference between these two sentences: (1) She is my mother (2) My mother is in the kitchen In (1) the verb to be ("is") decribes a permanent relationship. In (2), it describes a temporary location. So, in Spanish we would say: (1) Es mi madre (2) Mi madre está en la cocina Understanding this basic difference will help you distinguish between SER and ESTAR in more tricky situations.
